Studies in mice have shown that intestinal microbes may contribute to weight gain. A novel experiment published this fall, for example, took gut bacteria from human twins — in which one was lean and the other obese — and transferred them into lean mice. The animals with bacteria from fat twins grew fat; those that received bacteria from lean twins stayed lean.

Re: No one should get obese having this schedule even if you don't excercise.

Interesting thread. I was just asking about probiotics the other day because I am concerned that I'm not getting the most out of the healthy food I eat. Sometimes I feel energized after I eat and other times I don't get that kick. I junk food takes a toll on digestion. Perhaps probiotics can restore the proper balance in my stomach for digesting food properly.

I cannot even dream up of a schedule like that.

Besides my bulking phase. Constantly eating. I hated that crap. No more bulk. Just going to lift as much as I can and do cardio.

The sad thing is that you are right. I have encountered obese people and they don't eat anymore than me. Its just that they are consuming a lot of bad things and all the time. Some of them get stuck with bad genes with slow metabolism and they can't burn it off.

Absolutely.

I remember playing 3 hours of basketball and hitting the gym 5X a week back when I was 17, but downing that soda, that sugar, that cookie, those carbs those vegetable oils on top of protein powders and egg whites and stuff.

The diet, on the other hand is spectacular compared to what average people eat but not to a fitness person.

The way JMONEY looks may be genetics but any skinny dude who works out and eats like him is going to get stronger. Just takes a long period of an uninterrupted schedule (no work travel, no vacation) and discipline to stick to a workout program and eating enough. It took me only a month of lifting (stronglifts) and eating similar to him to get stronger and actually look like I've got some muscle. Unfortunately (in regards to getting stronger, not life as I like to travel) I have to travel a bit for work and that screws with my lifting schedule and the food intake so that's why I put emphasis on uninterrupted.

And his training, based on what I've read, probably is different because he's doing compound exercises and not body building exercises. Unfortunately there are some dudes who just haven't found the right program yet and need some legitimate guidance to what to do in the gym (aka that dude that just goes from random machine to random machine).
